When Shi Feng tapped on the crystal, a brief introduction opened before him .
As he read the text, Shi Feng was stunned .
"This is an Elemental Source?!" Shi Feng couldn't believe his eyes .
…
[Source of True Frost] Contains the purest frost power .
… Although the introduction was simple, almost everyone had known about Elemental Sources in the past . Any Elemental Source was valued more than an Epic item; in fact, most people offered two Epic items for a single crystal . However, players almost never sold them .
The elemental Mana within Elemental Sources was even purer than Seven Luminaries Crystals, and these items had a wide variety of uses .
They could be used in forging, alchemy, engineering, magic arrays, and so on .
If one used an Elemental Source while crafting a weapon or equipment, said item would obtain the power within the Elemental Source . Not only would this strengthen the item's Attributes, but it would also carry a powerful Original Skill .
If one could produce an Epic Weapon or Equipment with an Origin Skill, its value would only be second to Fragmented Legendary items .
Fragmented Legendary items were extremely rare in God's Domain . Even first-rate Guilds were lucky to have a handful, much less second- and third-rate Guilds . Hence, in the past, Epic Origin Weapons and Equipment became some of the best the various large Guilds could procure in large quantities .
The Epic Weapon Shi Feng had used in the past had been refined by a Grandmaster Forger who used an Elemental Source . To obtain the weapon, he had spent more than half of the wealth he had accumulated throughout playing God's Domain . Although hiring a Master Forger would've been cheaper, it was much safer to hire a Grandmaster .
He had never expected to get his hands on an Elemental Source this early .
Shi Feng now understood how he had activated a new expansion pack that would require a four-hour-long update .
When Elemental Sources had made their appearance in the past, it had started a new era for Lifestyle players . That had been due to the various uses for these crystals . Elemental Sources could even help Lifestyle classes improve their abilities . Hence, a lot of changes had to happen to the game .
After the first Elemental Source had appeared in the game, the crystals became more common . If one were lucky, they could even obtain one from a Dark-Gold Treasure Chest .
No one knows the Elemental Sources' true value yet . I can use this opportunity to send Melancholic Smile to purchase them . Thinking up to this point, Shi Feng realized that he had to purchase the crystals in bulk .
At first, everyone would treat the Elemental Source as some kind of rare material, selling it for several hundred Gold a piece . By the time they realized its true value, they'd regret selling the items . Conversely, many large Guilds would make a huge profit from hoarding the Elemental Sources .
Shi Feng then found a safe location and logged out of the game .
The new expansion pack had been too sudden . When Shi Feng opened his eyes inside the virtual gaming cabin, the sun outside the window was just beginning to set .
Before Shi Feng had the chance to climb out of the gaming cabin, a series of notifications bombarded his senses . They only stopped after the notification sound repeated several dozen times .
Taking his time, Shi Feng left to get something to eat and drink . He only read through the messages after settling down to eat at the table .
Contact between the Ice Crystal World and the continent of God's Domain was not possible . Hence, he had instructed Melancholic Smile and Gentle Snow to keep him up to date via offline messages . However, to obtain the required Elemental Ice Crystals as quickly as possible, he had remained in the game for three days straight .
"They're finally willing to let go, huh?" Shi Feng smiled as he read a message from Gentle Snow .
Recently, nothing major had occurred in God's Domain . The most noteworthy development was that Gentle Snow had finally captured Hidden Fog Town . Meanwhile, Zero Wing's Branch Guild in the Black Dragon Empire had recruited 70,000 additional members . The number might not be significant for a first-rate Guild, but it was a different story for Zero Wing . After all, Zero Wing's recruitment requirements were quite strict . Players capable of passing the entrance test would be elite players in the public's eyes . It was impressive that a Branch Guild had recruited so many members so quickly .
But Shi Feng wasn't surprised . What made him smile was the news that the companies that had supported Ouroboros had finally agreed to sell the training center to Gentle Snow . She had already begun the price negotiations .
Once both sides finished signing the necessary contracts, Ouroboros's training center would become Zero Wing's main headquarters . In the future, Zero Wing could recruit large batches of internal members without worrying about space .
As Shi Feng browsed through the other messages, his virtual gaming cabin's offline communicator rang . The caller ID belonged to Phoenix Rain .
Shi Feng reconnected to the game and entered his Offline Rest Space . After doing so, he accepted the call . Immediately, a virtual screen appeared before him . The screen showcased Phoenix Rain, who currently wore a set of exquisite, blue mage robes . She had already reached Level 48, and excluding Zero Wing's members, she could hold the top position on the Black Dragon Empire's Ranking List .
"Phoenix Pavilion Master, to what do I owe the pleasure? Has something urgent happened?" Shi Feng asked curiously .
"Indeed, something has happened . I've been competing with Nine Dragons Emperor on a quest, but for some reason, something has changed on his side . Not only did he complete the quest before I did, but he's also completed the quest much sooner than expected . Many of the Guild Elders have begun to side with him . Now, the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion just so happens to be activating some ancient ruin . I hope that Guild Leader Black Flame can lend me a few experts on the raid," Phoenix Raid said straightforwardly, not bothering to hide anything from Shi Feng . "As for the remuneration, I'll sell you a high-potential Shop in the Apocalypse Empire's capital . What do you say?"
She had an acute understanding of Zero Wing's experts . This was especially true for Zhao Yueru, who had participated in the Black Dragon Empire's ranking competition . There was also Aqua Rose to consider, who had put on a shocking performance during the siege war in Green Rain Town .
If experts like these women joined her team, she'd have a much higher chance of successfully raiding the ancient ruin her Guild had found .
Shi Feng was surprised to hear Phoenix Rain's offer .
He had never thought that this woman would be generous enough to sell an imperial capital Shop for a handful of experts . Such Shops were incredibly hard to come by . Many organizations offered two or three times the market price for them, but only a fool would willingly sell an imperial capital Shop so early in the game .
"Ancient ruins? Can you tell me which ancient ruins you intend to Raid?" Shi Feng asked after calming down .
"We've activated the Apocalypse Empire's Sunset Forest," Phoenix Rain answered, confused as to why he'd ask such a question .
"I see . " Realization immediately dawned on Shi Feng . After giving the matter some thought, he said, "If you wish to borrow some manpower, then you shall have it . However, I have a better proposal . I'll help you clear the ruins . In return, I want 20% of the resources we obtain during the raid . "
God's Domain had countless ancient ruins, many of which stored various items and materials that had been hidden since before the Great Destruction . Normally, these items wouldn't surface on the market . Meanwhile, the Apocalypse Empire's Sunset Forest had been particularly famous in the past due to its Ancient Origin Wood, a top-tier material used in ships' construction .
Phoenix Rain couldn't help but frown when she heard Shi Feng's counter-offer . Seeing the man's confidence, she had to ask, "That's a Level 50 to Level 60, Grade 1 ancient ruin . Are you confident in clearing it?"
"Will you believe me if I say that I'm 60% confident?" Shi Feng understood that she had many questions, but he had no solid explanation . After all, he couldn't possibly tell her that he had learned about the Sunset Forest during his previous life, or that he knew certain tricks to raid the ruin .
